- 300g Yakisoba noodles
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 spring onion
- 1 teaspoon chicken stock
- 2 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoon soy sauce
- Pinch of salt and pepper

- Once the spring onion becomes soft, add the Yakisoba noodles and the juice from the sardine can. Place lid on frying pan and steam for about 30 seconds.

Sardines are a common food around the world and Japan is no exception. A high source of Omega 3, they make a healthy addition to any meal.
Although containing the word “Soba” which are noodles made from buckwheat, Yakisoba noodles are made from wheat flour and first appearing in the early 20th century are a relatively new addition to Japanese cuisine.
